The New ROGUE MONSTER BENCH 2.0 is Just Ehh...

▬ Read our FULL review of 14 Reasons to/NOT to Buy the Rogue Monster Utility Bench 2.0 ▬

The Rogue Monster Utility Bench 2.0 is a good bench, but not the best we’ve reviewed. The Monster Series line is supposed to represent Rogue’s best efforts; because of this, we think this bench doesn’t meet the standard of say, a Rogue RM-6 Monster Power Rack or Rogue Monster Rhino Belt Squat. With some minor changes, we think this could be one of the best benches on the market. However, currently, we’d have to recommend the Rep FB-5000 Bench over this one. Unless you just love Rogue or really want a made in the USA product, then I’d go that direction.

Appreciate your honesty. Great review. Sub'd.

[ReapsTeR]

No BS honest reviews are one of the main reasons I keep coming back for more. Don't quit doing what you do!

[PBlaik]

Looks to me like your suggestions matter. I'm watching the video years after it was made, but the 3 suggestions you made, washers, gloss & barbell handle - all included in the current Monster Utility bench!

[berkz]

I got the REP bench and I
Love it
Keep the videos coming
I am looking forward to your$1000 dollar garage gym build

[BarbellsnBoas]

Great review man. I can tell it was a little tough for ya to be that honest but you did a good job. I think Rogue is a company that will actually listen and improve the bench. I love to buy Rogue because it's American made but they need to be held to that standard.

Dropping some innuendo Brandon Campbell Diamond style - bravo

2:45 you lift 900 pounds!? Is that possible!?

Coop do you have a review on the bells of steel flat bench with the 4" fat pad. I got it. It's like a tank. Just wanted to hear your thoughts

[jonathanward]

Using a piece of scrap Power Bar is a SICK idea as a detail. They need to get on that with EVERYTHING

[lastsonofgilead]

I wish they would sale the frames separately for those of us who already own the monster bench could swap them out because I would really love to get a better tuck when I bench.

Thanks for the integrity brother. This has been the most honest review I have seen to date!

[chrisryan]

I have had a horrible experience with rogue over the last 6 months...lost, damaged, incorrect orders, defective parts...told it’s my responsibility to pay for returns on defective products, like what ? Customer service is a joke, and as you mentioned the powder coated texture, I bought their weight tree and the posts are thick powder coated ?? Why on earth would you do that, instantly tears all the paint off calibrated plates...so stupid. Going to rep for future needs. I’d post pics of how tons of my gear arrived, but can’t. Be careful my friends!
Really starting to believe Rogue is nothing but hype, thanks for keeping it real Coop!

Love rogue bench's, got rid of everything else I have, I would not get the fat pad though unless you're a huge person. I have a fat pad and its too wide for shoulders, was meant for bigger people, just use it to sit and prop heavy things on.

It's June 2020 and Rogue is offering a knurled handle now (Ohio bar classic pattern), as a $35 option. I like that they made it an option, rather than just raising the price to put on a knurled handle. Options also let you vary the floot-to-pad-top height from 15.25 to 17.5 to 19.75 inches, so if you're especially short or tall that may be a feature you like. No color options yet. I'll probably go for the Rep and use cut-up stall mats under my feet since I'm short, rather than get the shorty version of this Rogue bench at this price.

[IgorGutman]

Is it stable, with the Rogue Fat Competition Pad (12" wide)?

[FREEfitnessCOACHING]

I have the REP 5000 bench and the Thompson Fat pad, paid $295 total with shipping, the Rogue Monster Bench with the Thompson fat pad cost is just over $300

[wadsworth]

How do you feel about a flat bench by, say, Legend Fitness, or Power Lift?

[kenpachistrength]

LOL! I love when Donnie tags you in his throwback posts on equipment on IG, but it does sound like he's mocking you

[teambassaholics]

The powers that this man has is crazy his review could literally close up a company just cause he wasn’t happy with the product I think that’s pretty freaking cool 😂

[RemexMatter]

i have the original monster bench with the wide feet. Is the handle attachment from this bench available as a stand alone. also will it fit on my bench?
